Chad Nelson - Imaginary Hope Lyrics

Look
I could never trade
Indecisions I've made
For imaginary hope
I'm addicted to my days
So my nights gotta change
Either way they better show
Right now I'm aimlessly high
Made to survive
Everything that I see
Now that I'm dangerously high
Aimed for the sky
That's as high as I reach

My blue tint is like collars at state corrections
My life changing on a dollar like great depressions
Bad times and loose pockets are teaching lessons
I had to see the other side to see I'm reaching blessings
Bond between me and my family like a church to reverend
They got my back like them broad shouldered streets in Trenton
Down and up 29 until I get to west end
Straight to park with hammer in arm to hit for fences
Now I'm getting seconds
So if we make it in this life
There's some things that I gotta bring to light
And I gotta make it clear
I don't like when I be feeling spiteful of things
So I gotta make 'em right
And I gotta make it clear
I ain't going out without a fight
N***** know what I'm about
This my life
But I got a bigger fear
When you realize the fight starts when life goes as far as you can write
Shit gets realer
It gets realer
Than altercations between killers and drug dealers
So when music execs gotta recoup and fill up
They can pick up my ruff drafts like J Dilla
Shouts out 'cause Jay realer
Than most n*****
Because he made the whole artwork for no figures
But shit go figure
F*ck it I ain't worried 'bout the beat
I'm just making sure everybody eats

So I could never, trade
Shiiit
F*ck imaginary hope
I'm addicted to my days
So my nights gotta change
Either way they better show
But right now I'm aimlessly high
Made to survive
Everything that I see
Now that I'm dangerously high
Aimed for the sky
That's as high as I reach

Hoping now you can tell
I can never put my soul up for sale
Because them figures never outweigh the bail
And I ain't going to jail
For seven years just so labels can sell
You n***** funnier than David Chappelle
F*ck however you feel
Miami in September hotter than hell
I got the Heat I'm like a shorter Renzel
I'm just praying for Dell
Women cheating way too often, oh well
If she entangled then you probably Will
Only joking but still
It's a problem that's been plaguing the world
How we treating our lessons just like a fail
And I ain't in it for tales
I'm telling stories that I truly can feel
If this is therapy I'm bound to be healed
I'm just tryna be real
Only playing when they signing the bill
If it's a max then my new name is Shaquille
Y'all are funny forreal
'Cause if you got it then I got it Pharrell
I'm gon' be Happy when the masses appeal

So I could never trade
Indecisions I've made
For imaginary hope
I'm addicted to my days
So my nights gotta change
Either way they better show
Right now I'm aimlessly high
Made to survive
Everything that I see
Now that I'm dangerously high
Aimed for the sky
That's as high as I reach...
